Well put sebastian. I wish more people in the photo-culture could understand that respect for Sony and their ambition.

to embrace technological advancement don't fight it
Well said. I think many of the people who are criticizing EVF's today are a lot like those who criticized auto-focus in the 80's, or digital in this past decade. There is always some market cultural resistance to technological advancement/change.
The viewfinder on both Sony models looked gaudy and unnatural plus there when you moved the camera there was a slight lag. The V1 looked quite pleasant and natural. I would not be able to judge colour on the Sony models.
And others still are only open to technological improvement if and when it comes from their favorite brand.
